Still experiencing sharp pain after wide local excision

I had a WLE 3.5 weeks ago on my back between my shoulder blades.  I have 15cm scar running side to side. The scar seems to be healing ok but I am experiencing bouts of sharp stabbing pains still and have quite a large area of tender skin around the wound too. I had expected to feel a lot better by now. I cannot sit properly back in a chair or a car seat.

    Hi Gillyoga,

    Welcome to our forum.

    I am sorry to hear that you are still in pain following you WLE. 3.5 weeks is not long enough to allow everything to heal properly and I would expect sitting to be problematic for a while still. I had a similar procedure done on my leg a few years ago and it was fully a year before the pain settled.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how things progress. We are always here for you.

    Kindest regards,

    Jolamine xx
